London,1864 - where any gentleman befitting the title 'gentleman'
belongs to a gentlemen's club: The Reform, The Athenaeum, The
Carlton, The Garrick...and, of course, The Contingency. Newly
established in St James', The Contingency become the most exclusive
enclave in town. A refuge for men of politics, men of science, men
of letters. A place to escape. A place to think. A place to be
free. The first rule of the Contingency is to behave like a
gentleman. The second is to pay no heed to its oddly identical
servants. Or to the horror in its cellars. Or to the existence of
the secret gallery on its upper floor...Rules that the Doctor,
Adric, Nyssa and Tegan are all about to break. The Contingency Club
reunites the 1982 Doctor Who TARDIS crew for Peter Davison's Fifth
Doctor - Adric (Matthew Waterhouse), Tegan (Janet Fielding) and
Nyssa (Sarah Sutton). Director Barnaby Edwards is not only an
overworked director for Big Finish productions, but on top of many
audiobook voice-over duties, he's also the main Dalek operator in
TV's Doctor Who. Clive Merrison's rich voice brought the longest
lived radio Sherlock Holmes to life, playing the Great Detective
across recordings of every single Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story.
Guest star Philip Jackson will be familiar to any fans of top TV
detective drama as Inspector Japp in the David Suchet Poirot
dramas. CAST: Peter Davison (The Doctor), Matthew Waterhouse
(Adric), Sarah Sutton (Nyssa), Janet Fielding (Tegan), Clive
Merrison (George Augustus), Philip Jackson (Mr Peabody), Lorelei
King (The Red Queen), Tim Bentinck (Wakefield/ Cabby/Stonegood),
Alison Thea-Skot (Marjorie Stonegood/ Computer), Olly McCauley
(Edward/ The Knave).
Clive Merrison and Andrew Sachs star in seven original BBC Radio 4
full-cast adventures for Holmes and Watson. How many times did Dr
John Watson tantalise us with passing references to a mystery which
his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, never wrote about in full? In
these original adventures Bert Coules, the chief dramatist of BBC
Radio 4's celebrated Sherlock Holmes canon, has imaginatively
fleshed out seven such unrecorded cases. The Determined Client:
Miss Addleton engages Holmes to save her father's good name. The
Striking Success of Miss Franny Blossom: Holmes investigates a
respectable gambling club. The Thirteen Watches: Bizarre events on
an express train brings a railway baron to Baker Street. The
Ferrers Documents: A slum landlord and a missing witness figure in
a dark tale of hatred and revenge. The Remarkable Performance of Mr
Frederick Merridew: A night at the music hall ends in tragedy. The
Eyes of Horus: A priceless Egyptian artefact vanishes from a locked
casket in a locked vault. The Marlbourne Point Mystery: Holmes and
Watson discover death, treachery and betrayal on an isolated
coastal headland.
